[Solved] Append Text onto end of another cell's text

Post by toekneebullard »

OK, so I have a list of System Codes (i.e. 4568) along side Market names (i.e. Comcast/Lake Park, GA). The SysCodes and Market Names are in separate columns. What I would like to do is consolidate that data, so the SysCode is at the end of the Market Name with a space in between them. (i.e. Comcast/Lake Park, GA 4568)

I've been looking through the consolidate function, but everything seems to be number based.

You can use the CONCATENATE function, but it's easier to use the concatenate operator: &

A1: Comcast/Lake Park, GA
A2: 4568
A3: =A1 & " " & A2 --> Comcast/Lake Park, GA 4568
